(C) Distributor and relay system
(D) Distributor and consumer terminals

2. Which of the following distribution systems is the simplest and has lowest installation cost?
(a) Interconnected system
(b) ring main system [ ]
(c) radial system
(d) None

3. A uniformly loaded distributor fed at one end only has power loss of “x” watts, if the
distributor is now fed from both ends then its power loss is equal to
(a) x/4
(b) x/2 [ ]
(c) x/8
(d) x/6
PART-II
4. Explain Radial, Ring-main distribution systems and discuss the advantages &
disadvantages? 1x3M = 3M
PART-III
5. A 2-wire d.c. street mains AB, 600 m long is fed from both ends at 220 V. Loads of 20 A,
40 A, 50 A and 30 A are tapped at distances of 100m, 250m, 400m and 500 m from the end
A respectively. If the area of cross-section of distributor conductor is 1cm2, find the
minimum consumer voltage. Take ρ = 1·7 × 10−6 Ω cm. 1x4M = 4M
